Dr. M. Ashby Jones Preached Able Sermon on ‘’The Price of
Cotton.” People of South Are Children of Men of ’6l to
’65. How Dare a Single Southern Son to Play the Cow
ard in These Coming Days. Cotton Should Not Be King.
Dr. M. Ashby Jones preached an abEe
sermon at the First Baptist church
Sunday morning on "The Price of Cot
ton.” He took as the basis for his
remarks the 25th verse of the 6th chap
ter of Matthew: “Is not life more than
food and the body than raiment’?”
Dr. Jones said that the fact that the
assassination of an Austrian crown
prince by Servian conspirators had
affected the price of cotton in Amer
ica and the South was illustrative of
the truth that no man lives unto him
self and that what happens to the least
affects all. He said that our cotton
Is low because our customers in Eu
rope have stopped the peaceful pur
suits of manufacturing, etc., to kill
each other.
The minister then launched into the
question of crop diversification, say
ing that cotton should hot be allowed
to reign as king; that the South s in
dumjial prosperity should not be al
low! 3 to depend upon a single crop.
that the men and women of
the South should not allow themselves
*to he conquered by one commodity.
\
Concluding a sermon which was
heard by a large congregation and
which was one particularly able and
rnaue a great impression, Dr. Jones
said in substance:
We should not allow' our industrial
prosperity to depend upon cotton, and,
Rbove all, w'e should not allow our
hearts to depend upon the price of cot
ton. Life is more than cotton. The
danger of the low price of cotton Is
that we will let our characters be tho
victims of the market price of cot
ton. Talk about hard times—the worst
of it is It makes hard men and hard
women! I beg of you, with your wealth
o fsweetness and kindness my people,
not to let the price of cotton make you
hard. There is the danger of taking
advantage of the weakness and neces
sities of men now, and that suspicion
that chills all comradeship, that self

The Baracans and Phllatheana of
Augusta at a mass meeting at the
First Baptist church Sunday after
noon at 0 o'clock heard Mr. C. O.
Teague of Columbus, Ga. .the state
secretary of the asosclatlon, in a
strong and very helpful address.
I Mr. J. G. Beldlng of this city, who
is the state president of the Baraca,
presided over the service. Rev. How
ard T. Cree led in prayer, and the
speaker was introduced by Mr Beld
ing. .
Mr Teoguo asked the members to
stand by each other and uphold the
vows that bound them together, urg
ing all the while the personal side of
the Baracit work.
He stated that he saw excellent poa
albilltles for the churches In this state
which have Baraca and Pbilathea
clarfber. He added that the Baraca
and Phtlathea organizations in Geor
r gia are destined to become the back
bone of the church, because they arc
imposed of the younger people, those
who are being trained for the work In
the church.
After this splendid address there

the Augusta banks, if they secure
their full quota of currency, will have
a large sum of money.
The combined capital stock, surplus
and undivided profits of the Augusta
banks, including the Citizens and
Southern with the parent bank in Sa
vannah and a branch here, is .14,585,000.
If per cent of this amount is se
cured there will be a total of 13,438,-

The banks will lend money with cot

provided this additional currency Is

ishness In commercial life. I beg of
you not to allow the price of cotton to
determine what sort of men and wom
en you will be in these days of trouble.
It is a magnificent opportunity to de
velop all that is best in ourselves. No
man can go down by himself, can fad
without dragging others down and men
are learning to stand by each other
and to practice mutual forbearance In
commercial life. How many problems
will come up during these coming days
that you must carry for your friend
or your neighbor. How many oppor
tunities for service! Men and women
will come through either better or
worse for this testing time.
When I hear men talk dismally now
and tell tales of woe, I picture to my
self the horrors of war, of what the
men are suffering across the waters
and I turn to the petty sufferings of
this land, and my soul sinks with dis
gust at a man who, in this land of
plenty and sunshine, will let a shadow
lie across his soul!
Ye are the sons of the men of ’6l
to ’66, and of ’65 to ’76! Ye are chil
dren of people who faced starvation,
bankruptcy, ruin, and yet, who, out of
the pit of degradation, bore upon their
shoulders all that was best in South
ern tradition, and built a new civili
rs.tion out of the ruin of their for
tunes! How dare a single Southern
son to play the coward in those com
ing Cays of test! Jesus Christ said
that where your treasure was there
would your heart be; He did not sav
do not have treasure, but do not put
your heart into it. Don’t put your heart
in cotton. Don’t let your heart break
when the market breaks. I am asking
J ’i to say that cotton shall not be
king in Augusta, but that the manhood
and womanhood shall reign! I am ask
ing you today In the name of Jesus
Christ to rise above the market, to put
your heavenly treasures—integrity,
honor, love and service—where guns
cannot destroy them—eternal values!

topics of conversation going a great
ways towards eliminating the pas

The good old straw has now reach

INI COTTAGES ON HILL TO BE
RENTED TO PEOPLE FROM NORTH
100,000 More Tourists Will Come South Than Ever Before,
Is Estimate. Macon and Savannah Anxious For Tourist
Trade. Inquiries Already Being Received for Cottages.
Other cities in this section. Macon
and Savannah, notably, are talking of
tile great possibilities of the South
in the way of tourist trade during this
winter. However, neither Macon nor
Savannah is equipped to care for the
tourists, but each city is planning to
build tourist hotels.
On account of the European war it
is estimated that 100,000 additional
tourists will come South tills winter.
It is believed that all of Augusta’s ho
tels will be filled early in the season
and the only trouble expected is One
which usually occurs during February
and March each year, the hotels being
unable to furnish accommodations for
the great number who wish to come.
Doubtless every cottage on the Hill
that is for rent will be rented this
year and Augusta will have the big
gest season in her history. There will
be a great many cottages lor rent,
undoubtedly, and real estate agents
are already receiving inquiries from
prospective occupants. A considerable
number of Augustnns rent their homes
during the winter to tourists and move
into the city, going back to The Hill
in summer. The sand hills of Augusta
are excellent for summer and winter
resorts.
The Macon Telegraph says in a re
cent issue:

“Adele" Better Than Before.
Blight lines, tuneful music charm
ingly sung, pretty girls and stylish
gowns, provide a combination that go a
long way to make "Adele" the musical
success which comes for a return en
gagement to the Grand Friday evening
only an entertainment worth while.
Its advent in this city Is backed by
the endorsement of every critic in the
city of New York, who declares this
production of the New Era Producing
Company, Joseph P. Bickerton, Jr.,
managing director, the unqualified hit
of the season.
"Adele is in three acts and each one
seems to outdo its predecessor in
handsome settings. The book is by
Paul Herve and the music by Jean
Briquet, who gave to the American
public that well known success,
“Alma.” It was translated and pre
pared for the American stage by
Adolph Phillip and Edward A. Paulton.
The story of this comedy is based on
tile very elastic divorce laws of France.
At the beginning, Adele Is found to bo
the daughter of u manufacturer of
canned goods, desperately in love with
Robert, son of her father's business
rival. Parental objections based on
the business rivalry beset the two
young lovers. Madame de Neuvllle, a
widow, plans to have Adele marry
Baron de Chantilly, with whom she
is actually in love. She sees in hucii
marriage with an immediate divorce
afterwards, a way out of the trouble.
Under the French law, parental objec
tion carries no weight If the offspring
onee weds. Her plan carries out, but
not as siie wishes, for the baron soon
finds after the wedding ceremony that
he is in love with Adele and refuses to
be divorced. This situation furnishes
a new series of complications which
develops an unlimited amount of hu
morous scenes and creates a farce
comedy bright and snappy that could
stand alone without the aid of a sin
gle bar of music.
Same cast as before. Seats on sale
Wednesday at 10 a. m.
“Oh! Oh! Delphine.”
Klaw and Erlangwr will present their
big New York musical comedy suc
cess, “Oh! Oh! Delphine," at the Grand
Wednesday, Sept. 23rd.
The book and lyrics are by C. M. S.
McClellan; and the music by Ivan
Caryll. The piece is founded on the
French farce, "Villa Primrose," by
Georges Berr and Marcel Guillemaud,
the authors and composer of “The
Pink Lady” and "The Little Case.” The
plot tells the story of a young artist
searching for a feminine model with
a perfect left shoulder for his master
piece, "Venus Rising from the Sea.”
The comedy Is in three acts, elabor
ately staged and costumed.

A negro who gave his name to Dr.

Dean was In the "Whlteway" shoe

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
every other Southern city with good
hotels, a mild climate and facilities
for eereatlon, is a theory that will
probably be brought to the attention
of the chamber of commerce.
"When the war broke out on the
continent 100,000 Americans were
found to be across the water. This
was during tho summer months and
the majority of them were in the
mountains and northern cities. When
winter comes it is estimated that an
equal number is abroad in those sec
tions or a more salubrious climate.
That they will not be there this winter
is assured.
“Florida is already preparing for the
greatest tourist season it has ever
known. In fact it is considered doubt
ful if the peninsular state has facili
ties to take care of tho invasion >f
wealthy pleasure and recreation seek
ers who will commence to move South
around Christmas time.
"It has been suggested locally that
Macon hotels and those business
houses which would directly benefit
by tourist business get together and
start an advertising campaign just be
fore the opening of the season with
a view to getting a share o fthe peo
ple who will come South. It Is de
clared by Floridians that one goo-l
tourist will spend the value of two
or three bales of cotton, in many casos,
for every week he or she is in town.”

He readily confessed the theft, it Is
alleged, but denied that ho hud ever
taken any other rifles. He was report
ed to have made a statement to certain
parties saying that he had taken three
other rifles which lie had burled some
